The Druid Hills Patrol is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to make Druid Hills a SAFER community. Our team of off-duty City of Atlanta and DeKalb County Police Officers patrols our neighborhood:

in full police uniform and a highly visible vehicle

in direct communication with 911

with emergency response capability and full powers to arrest

with the latest technology to document their activities and communicate with members

with dedication to provide reliable, vigilant protection.

Here are a few of the ways members benefit from the DHP service:

Vacation patrol – Officers will check your home while you are away. A simple request via the member website is needed and your message is received instantly. Officers document all visits with a ride report which is uploaded to the members’ Vacation Patrol Log.

Website access– Request vacation patrol and other special needs, report suspicious activity, read our patrolling officers’ daily ride reports, pay your dues, update your emergency contacts, and much more.Real police coverage - DHP officers are all DeKalb County or City of Atlanta police, not security guards, so they are in direct communication with police headquarters, 911 and have the authority to arrest. Always in uniform, the officers wear police identification while patrolling.
